- A participant asked for a tool that automatically converts any research-paper URL into its canonical DOI; the CrossRef event-data-reverse repository (https://github.com/CrossRef/event-data-reverse) and an archived “DOI.7z” file from the channel logs were suggested as starting points.  
- The same participant described building a web scraper that bypasses publisher paywalls and abstracts to retrieve full-text papers, highlighting an ongoing open-science need for clean DOI resolution.  
- Foldseek, a new protein shape-similarity search engine, was shared via a tweet (https://twitter.com/j_perkel/status/1674510520278466560) and discussed as a practical advance in structural-biology tooling.  
- The FlyWire whole-brain electron-microscopy connectome project released its open data browser (https://codex.flywire.ai) along with two preprints detailing neuronal cell-type classification and wiring diagrams (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.27.546656v1 and https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.06.27.546055v1).  
- A funding model for public-good research—such as longevity and AI alignment—was proposed: publicly funded X-prizes whose payouts are divided according to Shapley-value contributions rather than winner-take-all.  
- Discussion of Twitter’s recent blocking of non-logged-in access led to speculation that growth-metric clauses in the buyout financing (Morgan Stanley–led bank syndicate plus Saudi and other investors) may be driving the policy changes.
